Publisher Synopsis

This is a timely, well crafted, and topically important work that adds so much to our understanding of the past trajectories, actual realities, and future prospects of comparative and international education. By combining the historical and the sociological with the philosophical and the geographical, the editors and their contributors achieve an excellent perspective that should refine the way we understand and interact with the contours and intersections of comparative and international education. The book will, undoubtedly, serve the interests of scholars, students, and the wider public. - Ali A. Abdi, Faculty of Education, University of AlbertaRead more...
